Abstract

This study aimed to explore the daily life experiences of stateless Afghans in Iran and to describe their resilience strategies that enabled them to manage life deprivations. Using narrative analysis, we interviewed 34 individual stateless Afghans in Iran. Four main themes were identified in their daily life experiences: ignored as nonexistent, second-class Muslims, institutional discrimination, and unpredictability of the future. In terms of resilience strategies, three main themes emerged: cohesive community support, the role of religion, and ideological exploitation. Policy improvements are suggested to decrease discrimination and law amendments to provide a legal presence for Afghans residing in Iran.

“当别人知道我的弱点是什么时,我怎么能相信他们?”伊朗境内无国籍阿富汗人的日常生活经历和复原策略
摘要本研究旨在探讨无国籍的阿富汗人在伊朗的日常生活经历,并描述他们的应变策略,使他们能够管理生活剥夺。使用叙事分析,我们采访了34名在伊朗的无国籍阿富汗人。在他们的日常生活经历中确定了四个主要主题:被忽视为不存在,二等穆斯林,制度歧视和未来的不可预测性。在恢复策略方面,出现了三个主要主题:凝聚力社区支持、宗教的作用和意识形态剥削。建议改进政策以减少歧视和修订法律,为居住在伊朗的阿富汗人提供合法存在。
